Reach for this book when your toddler is struggling with the concept of waiting or is beginning to notice the busy rhythms of the neighborhood.

Through the eyes of Maisy the mouse, children see that everyone has a destination and that the journey is just as important as the arrival. In this story, Maisy takes on the role of a bus driver, stopping to pick up her diverse group of animal friends at numbered bus stops. The book balances the excitement of 'things that go' with the steady, predictable routine of community helpers. It is an ideal read for toddlers and preschoolers who are learning to count to five and those who need to see that being responsible and helpful is a rewarding part of growing up.
